Vittoria

Mezcal G Plus TNT 29in Tire

A 60-mile XC day seems daunting, but it’ll feel more like 25 when you’re ripping through fallen leaves and blasting across low-G rollers on Vittoria’s 29in Mezcap G Plus TNT Tire. Its center knobs are built to deliver killer efficiency on long, smooth straights, and the solid but not bulky edge serves up best-in-class grip for railing corners, even when they’re loose.

Even XC tires have to be durable, so Vittoria built the Mezcal with its TNT casing, a tubeless-compatible setup that has KEVLAR fibers woven into the rubber to safely suck up big impacts and sharp edges. The G+ Isotech rubber compound is made with graphene, too, which makes the rubber lighter and tougher without adding ounces that just slow you down.
